    We can fix that circle with a big tall rock every few paces and then join them up at the top with large flat rocks. It’ll be huge.

    They were so dis~organized before the circle.-———————————————Meanwhile, it’s early morning at the zebra crossing in front of Abbey Road Studios in London.http://www.abbeyroad.com/crossing

    One of my pet dislikes is some driver’s total ignorance of, misunderstanding of, or just don’t give a care about rules relating to roundabouts. You see drivers stop when there are no other cars in sight. You get cut off by a driver when you are already on the roundabout and then there are drivers who don’t indicate what they are going to do. Well that’s off my chest :)

    “Why do the Brits have those squigly lane divider lines”-——————————————-I believe it’s to warn that a pedestrian crossing is in the area, and drivers should be prepared to yield.

    And one film was part color, and part black and white: “The Wizard if Oz”.

    Roundabouts are an intelligence test…Many people fail…And it’d always the one right in front of me…

    I don’t mind the roundabout (or Rotary as it is called here), but drivers need for to pay attention, not be distracted.

    I hate when they allow special interest groups to use it for public service, campaigning, or picketing purposes. Pardon me if I don’t honk in support of your cause.

    Myth-Busters proved by demonstration that roundabouts are more efficient for specifically random traffic. Experience has proved that people will avoid them, moving more traffic through alternate routes, which then provides statistical evidence that there are fewer accidents, and of less costly damage, where there are roundabouts than there are on those alternate routes where they are not found.There greatest attribute is in reducing traffic in high traffic areas by shifting habitual users of the roadway to alternate routes wherever possible.Statistically, that is a sure winner.

    Traffic circles are for thinning out the herd based on intelligence, if you don’t know when to leave it then you deserve to stay there for the safety of others.

    I thought the squiggly lines were “Prepare to dodge…pedestrians ahead. Points to be added after a complete run.”

    Roundabouts should have stayed in the cave man era.

    The squiggly lines indicate a no passing zone. So, of course, in the few minutes that I watched, a motorcycle tried to pass a car stopped for a pedestrian. You can bring a horse to water…

    Actually, films made during WW2 were not made in color because of lack of availability of needed chemicals, either due to the source being in enemy hands or because of defense priorities. Color was also viewed by studio executives as an expensive luxury (until the rise of TV made it an asset).

    That being said, colorizing movies is an abomination and anyone involved in the practice should be buried.

    Hideous color scheme. Like they do at another comic site, A.....×. It reminds me of the colors I could get out of my old Apple //. Heinous purple, Ugly orange, Over the top Green, etc.Check ‘One Big Happy’.

    I have three sons. Even the one who doesn’t drive backseat drives. Same with my ex-husband. Men are just as bad as women.

    In the remake of the Dukes of Hazard movie they had a very good answer in dealing with a round about, drift it until to find an exit.

    I can think of only three roundabouts in Houston (if there are others, I haven’t met them yet), and I’ve never seen an accident at any of them. Now, accidents on the Texas Department of Transportation engineered freeway entrance located just before all north-bound freeway traffic on the Loop 610 West needs to decide whether to continue north, or merge right to proceed either east or west on I-59 (always at the last minute) is a daily occurrence.

    There’s an (in)famous traffic circle in Long Beach, CA. For those familiar with it, it’s the preferred route. Most drivers, on the other hand, avoid it like you’d steer clear of a package of Liberian lamb chops.

    South Side of the Sky is still my favorite song from that album, though.If you know whereof I speak, you can probably hear it playing in the background in your head right now.

    I grew up in a small town where a traffic circle was the pivotal point for traffic going either of three ways. There were never any problems navigating the circle. Sometimes people would just drive around it several times just for fun. We were easily entertained.
